No charges in Clinton email probe, Trump cries foul

No charges will be brought against Hillary Clinton for using a private email server while secretary of state, the Justice Department announced, prompting Donald Trump to accuse his presidential rival of “crooked” dealings. Attorney General Loretta Lynch made the widely expected announcement following a meeting with FBI Director James Comey as well as prosecutors and agents who led a high-profile investigation that has weighed heavily on Clinton’s Democratic White House campaign. The attorney general had previously pledged to respect FBI and prosecutors’ decisions about whether to bring charges after it emerged that she met briefly with Clinton’s husband, Bill, last week — prompting Republicans to cry foul over possible government interference.
